Camille uses a 20% off coupon when buying a sweater that costs $47.99. If she also pays 6% sales tax on the purchase, how much does she pay?

Sagot :

First calculate what the coupon does for Camille
so multiply %20 by the cost or .2(47.99)=9.598 which rounds to  9.60 meaning she still paid $38.39
Then calculate sales tax by multiplying her clearance price by %6 and adding it on the cost
.06(38.39)= 2.3034 which rounds to $2.30 in tax.
Add that onto the clearance price 38.39+2.30=$40.69
So her total cost was $40.69
How do you get 38.39 from 9.60?
